I see nothing major with this release. I do however hope this fixes my wireless speeds. I purchased my first Macbook Pro this past Friday night and my download speeds are definitely bad on it, compared to my windows laptops/ipad/iphones/and desktop PC

Now that you have mentioned it, I too am having some issues with my wireless speeds. My macbook hasn't moved locations, but the signal seems weaker as well. Chopped it up as being a location issue but wonder if it is also related to an OS bug... hmmm...

And iMessage Phone number merging! I was wondering why the file sizes were massively different between .1 & .2

Wait, so now iMessages going to your phone number will also appear in Messages on Mac? Awesome. Is that something they are bringing to iOS as well for my iPad?

Nice. Just installed OS X 10.8.2 12C31A (with FB integration)

Did they fix the mess that occurs if you try to merge contacts? I remember the reviews saying it created a mess in their contacts. In the iOS 6 beta, the contacts go into their own category "Facebook Contacts" which would be my preference on Mac as well.

Any fix to the iMessage sync mess between iOS and the Mac? It has been notably messed up and annoying the last couple of days, after a short time (8 or 10 days) where it works almost perfectly between the two.

Not at currently, but in 10.8.2 it will be :)

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
